30 somebody is able to provide a patch or sed. In these cases, please mark

118 Around 80 smallish tarballs and zip files will be downloaded during the
119 build. The download time will vary with the local internet speed and
120 server load. The download time is about 3 minutes on a fiber connection
121 and probably not much more than 10 minutes on an ADSL connection.
122 If you have not installed one or more of the following dependencies,
123 they will also be downloaded during the build.

209 the build process will compile and install its own (often older)

586 on the toolbar.

588
589 <para>
590 <parameter>--with-lang='fr en-GB'</parameter>: This switch sets
591 what languages to support. To list several languages, separate them with
592 a space. For all languages, use
593 <option>--with-lang=ALL</option>. Note that the translations file
594 is not needed and won't be downloaded if using only en-US as a language.

609 <para>
610 <parameter>--with-jdk-home=/opt/jdk</parameter>: This parameter will silence
611 a warning that the configure script attempted to find JAVA_HOME
612 automatically (even though that is passed in the environment). Omit this if
613 you disabled java.
614 </para>
615
616 <para>
617 <parameter>--with-myspell-dicts</parameter>: This switch adds myspell
618 dictionaries to the <application>LibreOffice</application> installation
619 set.
620 </para>
621
622 <para>
623 <parameter>--with-system-boost</parameter>: This switch enables using
624 system boost. From time to time, recent versions of boost break
625 the build of libreoffice. In this case, it is possible to use the
626 bundled copy of boost by removing this flag.
627 </para>
628
629 <para>
630 <parameter>--disable-dconf</parameter>: This switch disables compiling
631 <application>LibreOffice</application> with the
632 <application>GNOME DConf</application> configuration system support.
633 </para>
634
635 <para>
636 <parameter>--without-junit</parameter>: This switch disables the tests
637 for the deprecated HSQLDB driver which is written in Java.
638 <!-- If you wish
639 to build this driver replace this switch with the set of switches
640 described below after '- -without-java'.-->
641 </para>
642
643 <para>
644 <parameter>--without-system-dicts</parameter>: This switch disables the
645 use of dictionaries from system paths so that the ones installed by this
646 package are used.
647 </para>
648
649 <para>
650 <parameter>--disable-odk</parameter>: This switch disables installing the
651 office development kit. Remove if you want to develop a
652 <application>LibreOffice</application> based application.
653 </para>
654
655 <para>
656 <parameter>--disable-mariadb-sdbc</parameter>: This switch disables the
657 MariaDB SDBC connector for Libreoffice Base. Leaving it enabled results
658 in a build failure because of a problem linking to
659 <xref linkend="mitkrb"/>.
660 <!-- Please check this in 24.8.1.x since MariaDB's connector was
661 updated in the 24.8 branch shortly after 24.8.0.3 was released.-->
662 </para>
663
664 <para>
665 <parameter>--enable-release-build=yes</parameter>: This switch enables a
666 Release Build. <application>LibreOffice</application> can be built as a
667 Release Build or as a Developer Build, because their default installation
668 paths and user profile paths are different. Developer Build displays the
669 words "Dev" and "Beta" in several places (e.g, menu and splash screen).
670 </para>
671
672 <para>
673 <parameter>--enable-python=system</parameter>: This switch tells
674 <application>LibreOffice</application> to use the system installed
675 <application>Python 3</application> instead of
676 the bundled one.
677 </para>
678
679 <para>
680 <parameter>--with-system-icu</parameter>: This switch tells the build
681 system to use the system installed version of ICU.
682 </para>
683
684 <para>
685 <parameter>--with-system-*</parameter>: These switches prevent
686 <application>LibreOffice</application> from trying to compile its own
687 versions of these dependencies. If you've not installed some of the
688 dependencies, remove the corresponding switches.
689 </para>
690
691 <para>
692 <command>make distro-pack-install</command>: This does a normal
693 install, but if you add a DESTDIR environment variable it will also
694 install a lot of (text) gid_Module_* files in the DESTDIR, to help
695 distributions which want to break the package into parts.
696 </para>
697
698 <para>
699 <option>--with-parallelism=&lt;count&gt;</option>: This switch
700 tells <application>LibreOffice</application> to use &lt;count&gt; CPU
701 cores to compile in parallel. (Do not include literal angle brackets.)
702 The default is to use all available cores on the system.
703 </para>
704
705 <para>
706 <option>--disable-cups</option>: Use this switch if you don't need
707 printing support.
708 </para>
709
710 <para>
711 <option>--disable-dbus</option>: Use this switch if you've not installed
712 D-Bus-1.8.0 or later. It also disables Bluetooth support and font install
713 via PackageKit.
714 </para>
715
716 <para>
717 <option>--disable-firebird-sdbc</option>: By default, the ability to
718 connect to a <application>firebird</application> database is enabled.
719 Add this switch if you do not need that feature.
720 </para>
721
722 <para>
723 <option>--disable-gstreamer-1-0</option>: Use this switch if you have not
724 installed <xref linkend="gst10-plugins-base"/>.
725 </para>
726
727 <para>
728 <option>--disable-postgresql-sdbc</option>: This switch disables compiling
729 <application>LibreOffice</application> with the ability to connect to a
730 <application>PostgreSQL</application> database. Use it if you have not
731 installed <application>PostgreSQL</application> and you do not want
732 <application>LibreOffice</application> to compile its bundled copy.
733 </para>
734
735 <para>
736 <option>--disable-skia</option>: Use <xref linkend="cairo"/> for rendering
737 instead of skia.
738 </para>
739
740 <para>
741 <option>--enable-lto</option>: This switch will enable Link Time
742 Optimization, which results in slightly smaller libraries (about 40 MB).
743 This is said to make <application>LibreOffice</application> programs
744 load faster (and possibly run faster, e.g. when recalculating a
745 spreadsheet). On an 8-core machine with 16 GB of memory, the difference
746 in compile times was minimal, but an extra 2 GB was used for the work
747 files. On machines with fewer processors or a lack of memory, the compile
748 might be much slower.
749 </para>
750
751 <para>
752 <option>--without-java</option>: This switch disables
753 <application>Java</application> support in
754 <application>LibreOffice</application>. Java is needed for the
755 deprecated HSQLDB driver, which allows reading databases created by
756 other programs or in earlier versions of libreoffice
757 <application>base</application>. It is also needed for some optional
758 user interface components.
759 </para>
760
761 <para>
762 <option>--without-fonts</option>: <application>LibreOffice</application>
763 includes a number of third-party TrueType fonts. If you have already
764 installed some or all of the same fonts, you may prefer to use the system
765 versions.
766 </para>
767
768 <para>
769 <option>--enable-evolution2</option>: Enables support for Evolution
770 address books through Evolution Data Server. Note that Evolution Data
771 Server must be installed for this feature to function.
772 </para>
773
774 <para>
775 <option>--enable-qt6</option>: This switch enables support for integration
776 with Qt6 and the Qt6 theming engine. If <xref linkend="qt6"/> is not
777 installed in <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, the include and
778 library directories must be specified in the <envar>QT6INC</envar> and
779 <envar>QT6LIB</envar> environment variables.
780 </para>
781
782 <para>
783 <option>--enable-kf6</option>: Builds with KDE/Plasma integration. If
784 <xref linkend="qt6"/> and/or <xref linkend="kf6-frameworks"/> are not
785 installed in <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, the include
786 and library directories must be specified in <envar>QT6INC</envar>,
787 <envar>QT6LIB</envar>, <envar>KF6INC</envar>, and <envar>KF6LIB</envar>,
788 respectively. This includes a style plugin and KIO integration.
789 </para>
790
791 <para>
792 <option>--with-system-abseil</option>: This switch enables using a system
793 version of the Abseil C++ libraries instead of the bundled copy. Add this
794 switch if <xref linkend="abseil-cpp"/> is installed and you wish to use
795 it instead of the bundled copy.
